The Modern Government: The Evolution of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Policy

Driven by changing global norms and evolving public expectations, today’s Modern Government defines itself by the impact it can have on key Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) issues. While their capability to address these issues is nothing new, a combination of growing international uncertainty, rising costs, and social mandates has shifted action from obligation to responsibility, and as the world continues to press for change, it’s essential that those working to meet expectations do their best to deliver. In the first part of our series, leaders will explore key trends and priorities in the ESG landscape, benefits of a forward thinking ESG policy, and best practices for public sector officials as they take action on ESG issues.
